“We love Rye – it is a friendly community where anyone from anywhere can fit in. Their caring attitudes towards individuals and letting pupils be who they want to be was another reason we loved it.”

“I love the inclusivity and the community spirit, pupils at Rye are encouraged to be individuals and to develop their own talents with help from the people around them. We’re not pressurised to achieve but motivated.”

Sixth Form Student

“Rye encouraged me in all aspects of life, not just academics. I also sometimes boarded, and that was interesting too. I think year 8 was my favourite year. Life was not too serious, and we played a lot of practical jokes on (some) of the teachers!!! I was very happy at Rye, and proud to be an ex-Rye girl.”
